Yeah hang on -- got https everywhere on.

Switched to Chrome, it worked for me but very slowly and threatened to crash things so I closed it. I have a lot of tabs open for work and my computer sucks. From the glimpses I got, not sure what the connections are supposed to illustrate -- lot of usernames I didn't even recognize; certainly wasn't ranked by number if interactions or anything.

They're people that are following or followed by you. There's no ranking. Circles are the diameter of the username.

I could make it draw arrows, for following vs followed, as well as circle size based on number of followers. But this way, everyone is "equal," after a fashion.

I also considered only showing followers, or only showing followed. Or possibly coloring the lines differently.

    certainly wasn't ranked by number if interactions

That's a great idea; but I don't think hubski has a way to get that info easily.

You do have quite a few followers. Smaller people are faster to load. If your name is slow, definitely don't click mk's circle.…

How now? The info is tracked in everyone's profile. It's individual, and I don't know what I'm talking about, but hey.

Ah, you can see shares by mousing over users in the 'following' pane. Yeah, that shouldn't be too hard to add.

It looks like the graph library can't easily set circle size. But we could make the color of the circle darker with more shares. So people you don't interact with are faded out.
